How to cooperate with the cosmetics factory to reach a supply relationship and what conditions are needed to produce an aloe gel

In the cosmetics industry, aloe gel is a basic and popular category. For the brand side, if it plans to produce a compliant aloe gel, establishing a supply relationship with the factory with makeup brand qualification is a key step for the product landing. The following is an explanation from four aspects: preliminary preparation, factory screening, cooperation process, and precautions.

1、 Preparation in advance: Clarify one's own needs and qualifications

Before contacting the factory, the brand needs to clarify the product positioning: is aloe gel used for daily moisturizing, soothing after sun exposure, or is it mixed with other ingredients? Is the expected specification 30g, 50g, or larger capacity? Is the packaging form flexible hose, press bottle or canned? These details directly affect the factory's quotation and minimum order quantity.

At the same time, the brand owner needs to have legal business entity qualifications, such as a business license, and the business scope includes the sale of cosmetics. If the brand provides its own trademark, it needs to hold a trademark registration certificate or acceptance notice. If there is currently no trademark, you can also negotiate with the factory to use their existing brand, or entrust the factory to assist with registration. In addition, according to the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics, the brand owner, as the registrant/filer, is responsible for the product efficacy claims. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare the product formula ideas, efficacy evaluation basis and other materials in advance.

2、 Screening factories: verifying qualifications and capabilities

When choosing a cosmetics brand factory, first check whether it holds a Cosmetics Production License, and the licensed items include "general liquid unit" or "cream lotion unit" - aloe gel usually belongs to this category. The factory can be requested to provide a copy of the license and verify the validity period and production scope through the official website of the drug regulatory bureau.

Secondly, understand the research and development capabilities of the factory. Ask whether it has a mature formula of aloe gel, and whether it can adjust the viscosity, skin feel or add other compliant ingredients according to needs. If the factory has stable production cases, sample testing can be requested. At the same time, pay attention to the quality control system of the factory: whether it has the ability to detect microorganisms and heavy metals, whether the raw materials are traceable, and whether the production environment meets clean standards.

3、 Collaboration Process: From Sample Making to Delivery

After reaching a preliminary agreement, both parties need to sign a commissioned production contract, specifying the product name, specifications, quantity, unit price, delivery cycle, quality standards, and breach of contract responsibilities. The brand owner needs to provide the factory with trademark authorization letter, business license and other documents, and the factory is responsible for completing product filing (domestic ordinary cosmetics filing) or registration (if involving special effects).

The sampling process is crucial. The brand needs to confirm whether the appearance, odor, pH value, viscosity, and application feel of the sample meet expectations. If adjustments are needed, they should be communicated with the factory's R&D personnel to modify the formula. After confirming the samples, the factory conducts small-scale trial production to verify the stability of the process. After passing the trial production, it will enter formal production. After production is completed, the factory needs to provide a product inspection report. After the brand verifies the batch, quantity, and packaging for accuracy, payment and delivery will be made according to the agreement.

4、 Attention: Compliance and Long term Collaboration

Attention during cooperation: medical terms or absolute expressions such as "repairing damaged cells" and "100% pure aloe" are not allowed to be used in the declaration of aloe gel. If aloe vera extract is added, the specific name should be indicated in the ingredient list. The brand should retain the raw material procurement vouchers, production records, and inspection reports for regulatory inspections.

In addition, it is recommended to establish a long-term communication mechanism with the factory and regularly review their production qualifications and product quality. If the brand plans to expand its product line, it can prioritize deepening cooperation with existing factories to reduce communication costs.

In a word, the core of aloe gel production in cooperation with Makeup Brand Factory lies in the compliance of qualification, clear demand and strict quality control. Through standardized processes and continuous communication, brand owners can steadily promote product launches and provide consumers with safe and compliant skincare choices.
